To see the Flatpaks
installed on a Linux system, you can issue the command flatpak list
in a terminal window. To remove a Flatpak from a system, find the Application
ID of the software by issuing the command flatpak list --app.
Once you have the Application ID, you can uninstall the Flatpak with the
command flatpak uninstall AppID where AppID is
the relevant Application ID. To remove all of the application's local settings
and configuration files, add the --delete-data option. E.g.,
to remove the
Bottles Flatpak, I could use the command
flatpak uninstall --delete-data com.usebottles.bottles.

A Flatpack may required shared "runtimes" components. When you delete
the application, those runtimes can become "orphaned", but still occupy
space on the system. You can, optionally, use the command
flatpak uninstall --unused afterwards, if that is a concern.
